About this home
The land Set along the edge of Carrying Place Cove in Lubec, Maine, this rare one-acre parcel offers an exceptional combination of privacy, natural beauty, and direct access to one of the most distinctive coastal environments in the United States. Carrying Place Cove is part of West Quoddy Head State Park -- the easternmost point in the United States. Located directly across from the property, the cove provides immediate shoreline access and connects into the park's trail system. From this access point, trails lead through protected coastal land to both the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse and the park's coastal bog--a rare and unique ecosystem where plant life more commonly found in far northern climates thrives in a windswept coastal setting. This blend of oceanfront cliffs, forested trails, and bog habitat makes the area especially rich for nature exploration and birding. The property sits in an elevated position, allowing for expansive, sweeping views spanning Lubec Channel, Carrying Place Cove, the Bay of Fundy, and Grand Manan Island. The setting offers a constant connection to the surrounding landscape, with the sound of ocean waves and frequent sightings of eagles, seabirds, and other wildlife. The land has been maintained with a natural approach, encouraging wildflowers, native growth, and a strong presence of local wildlife, creating a peaceful and ecologically vibrant setting. Existing infrastructure includes a well and a newer septic system (approximately 5 years old, minimally used), providing a strong foundation for future development. Situated on a quiet, dead-end road, this property offers both privacy and immediate access to protected coastal land, scenic trails, and one of Maine's most celebrated natural environments. This is a rare opportunity to own a build-ready parcel in a location defined by coastal beauty, ecological uniqueness, and a deep sense of tranquility.
